Bridgette Monet

There were two brunette female porn stars of the 1970s and 1980s who are still talked about. One was Annette Haven, the other was Bridgette Monet. Bridgette was taller than Haven (or most of her industry peers, for that matter, being just shy of six feet tall) and was a ball of fire in the adult film industry. She got her start doing nude modeling before starring in the short vignettes of the "Swedish Erotica" series. She got her big break in I Like to Watch (1982), and thereafter received star billing for most of the rest of her career. She was blessed with breathtaking beauty and a spectacular body. However, she was very selective about her co-stars and, after she became established, worked only with her real-life boyfriend David Cannon. In her earlier works, she performed with actors such as John Leslie, Mike Horner and Mike Ranger). Some of her most successful films include Talk Dirty to Me: Part 2 (1982), Stiff Competition (1984) and Girl from S.E.X. (1982). She left the industry in the mid-'80s to pursue a career as a medical doctor.
